The
Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, a survey of obesity rates nationwide, is
out and it's packed with all kinds of information about us, our nearby
neighbors in Washington, Idaho, Nevada and California, as well as states across
the land. Before you click on that link, though, consider taking this quiz to test your knowledge or suspicions.

Some key and
unfortunate findings in the Gallup-Healthways index, computed by respondents' self-reported height and weight:
More than two in 10 adults were obese in nearly every state in 2013, with the
exception of one state. Three in 10 adults were obese in 11 states.

The survey
found some things that come as no surprise at all. For instance, residents in
the least obese states eat healthier and exercise more than those in the most
obese states.
